thats exactly why women should never make any decisions. the sun comes out.... so lets go outside and hide from it!

God was so close to getting it right when i comes to women... then he gave them the ability to speak

Guy, the lawn slopes from left to right, so unless you address that, you aint gonna get a perfect patio to lawn profile.

I suggest you plant some border plants up to the red arrow - where it levels out.

This will disguise the slope and make the patio/lawn border look much nicer than some gravel.

I would dig it back at a gentle gradient to merge from the edge of the patio to aboot where the brush is, better than nowt. Also leave about a 6inch gap at the edge of the patio as a soakaway (dig out a little and put gravel in). That is assuming it has a run on it too the garden

Owning is one thing, using is a completely different matter

i have informed SWMBO of this... it has been rejected because of weeds 

liked the idea though

the soakaway is in place and the gravel/pea shingle is standing by

took a trip to a timber yard today...
